The Long Game: 4 Tactics to Master Early in Star Wars Zero Company

Early mastery is key in Star Wars Zero Company, a turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor. Four crucial tactics to learn and implement from the start include Overwatch, calling for backup, Advantage resource, and bonding. Overwatch is a powerful tool that lets you shoot at enemies moving or taking actions in a cone-shaped area on the battlefield.

Optimal use involves balancing coverage and accuracy, extending only as far as necessary for reliable hits. Calling for backup is a game-changer, providing free guaranteed hits when two characters with line of sight attack the same enemy back-to-back. This system rapidly boosts bond levels, unlocking key character enhancements. Lastly, Advantage is a shared resource that powers pivotal abilities.

Each damage dealt to enemies accumulates Advantage, which can be maximized at 10, providing a combat boost. Using these tactics from the beginning will set players up for smoother, more successful missions.
